❝ She wanted a fresh start, He wanted normalcy, But their past had other plans. ❞ ~~~ For the majority of her life, Gabriella had to endure all the things a child should never have to experience. After nearly two years of planning to start afresh, she decides moving three thousand miles away from her past, and restricting the memories of her past life to her hometown would be for the best.

Slowly, she starts remembering bits and pieces of the past she thought she'd left in her old life. And the people she thought she could trust her heart with seem to be the people who are out to rip it to pieces. Does forgiveness come easy when the ones we gave our heart to are the ones who will break it without a second thought? After all, they say the heart wants what it wants, but does betrayal and heartbreak make the heart reach out farther? ~~~ A story of love, heartbreak, and betrayal...

A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin. The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin. Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone. The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear. The fall of Vequera.

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1 by marcellaiswriting

~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.

Wicked Hearts by xyczsvi

In a world where souls can be stolen but never replaced, love and deception become a deadly game. *** Elowyn Emberveil died at eighteen, consumed by flames that devoured her home in Grandcrest. But death wasn't the end. Rescued by the enigmatic Chooser, her soul was exiled to the Island of the Spared Souls-a purgatory for those not bound for eternal torment. Survival meant stealing: devouring human souls to inhabit their bodies. For 173 years, Elowyn has endured, her spirit trapped in the decaying body of a 90-year-old woman. When a young, radiant girl arrives on the island, Elowyn sees her salvation. Consumed by desperation, she claims the girl's soul, unknowingly seizing the body of Princess Isabel Morrow, second in line to the kingdom of Ivor. Returning to the royal city with Isabel's devoted knight-and former lover-Raven Sinclair, Elowyn finds herself entangled in a life she never wanted and emotions she's never known. As Raven's unwavering love for Isabel tugs at her fractured soul, Elowyn begins to wonder: can a thief of souls deserve redemption? But secrets can't stay buried forever. As Elowyn struggles to maintain her facade, the truth of Isabel's fate looms. What will Raven do when he learns the woman he loves is gone-and the soul he now holds close is a stranger? And what will Elowyn sacrifice to hold onto a love that was never hers to begin with?
